It has four levels. the bottom is for the supplies such as the media/bark, water, etc. The second level is empty now and the third and top levels have the Orchids and the Kalanchoe. I'm glad to have Plant Tower, as I call it, to organize my plants.Indeed, planned light on level three. The flowering Orchids are on the open top level. Hobbies. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite13" alt=":hide:" title="Hide    :hide:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":hide:" />Orkie must be very happy! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/girls/m04127.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":spinning:" title="Spinning    :spinning:" data-shortname=":spinning:" />Does she have aerial roots, roots that wonder about above the bark/media?They should be in soon. I received 'Princess on 24 November of last year so they should be on their way. Whenever you decide to get one please keep me up to date. I so want to share the joys of these plants with you.Indeed. They will not have the lush colourful leaves as last year as they are bigger but coloured nevertheless. A success of sorts and I welcome that.Certainly science but I'm not sure why lack of sunlight in the Autumn would trigger this response. Again, they are native to Mexico which has more sunlight than we do this time of year. <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/think/m1714.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":confuse:" title="Confuse    :confuse:" data-shortname=":confuse:" />Alright here we go. Another Poinsettia. Last Spring I noticed a store next to where I live had a Poinsettia outside. This store is a Christian book thrift store of sorts that I walk past often. It sat outside on the street for months. I noticed it all Summer long and even went in during August as I found it dry and asked to water it. She, the store owner, agreed and I did so. I had hoped this older lady would eventually take it in as it seemed not to be all that well cared for. As Autumn arrived I hoped she would finally take it in if she cared for it as frost was soon to set in and that would kill this plant. Michelle had enough on 28 October as a nightly frost as possible and I took this plant in as I assumed this plant was abandoned to it's fate on the streets. The plant was in her previous Christmas wrapper which was full of water from rain days earlier. I assume it was donated to the store last season. I felt guilty with basically giving it a five-finger discount in the cover of night but it looked as if it was not cared for and just there until Mother Nature took it's life.She is fine now in a window. Her leaves are much smaller than my two but the plant is about the same overall size. I got her too late to submit her to the same leave colour treatment as my other two. The last thing I needed was another Poinsettia but I hated seeing this thing either dry to the bone or awaiting death by frost. Michelle, the plant nabber. <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/emb/t1813.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":embarrassed:" title="Embarrassed    :embarrassed:" data-shortname=":embarrassed:" /> I doubt the old lady even cared and may have been relieved to be rid of it.Something good from something bad.Good idea! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/en/t3744.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":ig:" title="I Agree    :ig:" data-shortname=":ig:" />If you ever go back to that trend I will trigger your lash-outs just to regenerate those missing fingers. I never understand the fashion of missing thumbs. <img src="http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/scared/scared0011.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yikey:" title="Yikey    :yikey:" data-shortname=":yikey:" />They are determined little gremlins. I wonder what they did to your signature. <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/think/m1703.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":think:" title="Think    :think:" data-shortname=":think:" />Good idea! We'll need that magic soon, the whole world needs a magic fairy this year.This Christmas will be lonelier than most for so many. Are your restaurants open to limited seating? So far in the states I frequent they're at 50% occupancy for indoor eating. Are you limited by numbers to go into a place such as Tesco?It's going to be an odd time but hopefully the new President will be better overall with this Covid fight. With our recent rises in Covid I would not be surprised with another strict lockdown. Winter looks bleak.Thank you for the kind wishes. I worked most of my birthday but I was okay with that. It was a quiet birthday as I've become accustomed to.Yes indeed, let's hope these new vaccines will work and be out within the coming months. At least some positive signs.</blockquote>
